The Clinton Campaign's New Math
Unless something truly monumental produces lopsided victories for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming primaries, her chances for the Democratic nomination rely on superdelegates overturning the will of Democratic voters. Knowing this, her campaign has regularly identified criteria upon which the superdelegates might choose Clinton over Obama, some of which directly reflect the voters' intent (pledged delegate count, popular vote) and some of which are essentially judgment calls (electability, readiness). The campaign's problem is that the former criteria currently favor Obama and the latter don't lend themselves to a slam dunk consensus. In fact, they have so far been rejected by the majority of Democratic voters, who think electability and readiness are either better found in Obama or are trumped by Obama's ability to usher in change. If superdelegates were to cite Clinton's electability and readiness in order to coronate a nominee, it could drive voters out of the party.
But the Clinton campaign has found a new angle: imaginary electoral college votes. It is sending surrogates out to push the idea that superdelegates should vote for the candidate who would have come out ahead if the primaries were awarding electoral college votes instead of delegates.
This has a veneer of legitimacy because the campaign can say, "In the fall, the president is chosen through the electoral college. If you want to know who would make the best nominee, look at the electoral vote math." In fact, Clinton communications guru Howard Wolfson said almost exactly this to the New York Times.
Now, is this spin? Of course it is. The Clinton campaign will and has spit out any criteria it can think of that shifts the media narrative in its direction. It is losing the pledged delegate count, it is losing the popular vote, and it has lost more states. But it is in front when it comes to this notion of electoral college votes because it has won more big states. "It is our belief that at the end of the day, superdelegates will need to take into account a variety of factors," said spokesman Phil Singer on a conference call on Monday. "And that includes which candidate is going to be best able to accumulate the requisite 270 electoral votes."
The problem here is that these fictitious electoral college results have little, if any, connection to the electoral college results in the fall. Clinton won California in the primary, giving her bucketloads of these imaginary electoral college votes. (Because of how the Democratic Party awards delegates, the delegate results were relatively even in California. Electoral college votes are winner-take-all.) The same happened in New York. But Obama will win California and New York in the fall if he is the nominee. He's a Democrat. Winning California and New York in presidential elections is what Democrats do.
And then there's the fact that the winner of a state's Democratic primary is not necessarily the best Democrat to win that state in the fall. Clinton won the Democratic primary in New Mexico, where Kerry lost to Bush by one percent in 2004. The Democrats may need Obama's ability to appeal to independents and Republicans to turn New Mexico blue in the fall.
The question is, how will the media cover the Clinton campaign's latest ploy? In a Politico article recently, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen made the point that a hard look at the delegate count shows that Clinton has "virtually no chance of winning" the nomination. But the media has a couple reasons for pretending like it does:
One reason is fear of embarrassment. In its zeal to avoid predictive reporting of the sort that embarrassed journalists in New Hampshire, the media including Politico have tended to avoid zeroing in on the tough math Clinton faces...
One important, if subliminal, reason is self-interest. Reporters and editors love a close race it's more fun and it's good for business.
The media are also enamored of the almost mystical ability of the Clintons to work their way out of tight jams, as they have done for 16 years at the national level. That explains why some reporters are inclined to believe the Clinton campaign when it talks about how she's going to win on the third ballot at the Democratic National Convention in August.
I would add another reason: many in the media hold to a twisted form of objectivity. Instead of taking a hard look at the facts and stating them plainly, it gives equal space to both sides' arguments and spin. I'm guilty of some of this myself.
So the media can either: (1) ignore the Clinton campaign's new math; (2) report the campaign's new math, but explain the fallacy behind it; or (3) report the campaign's new math and pretend like its just part of the back-and-forth of a dogfight campaign that either candidate can win. The first two are clearly superior to the third, but it is the third that keeps Clinton viable. The fact that her campaign has realized that content-hungry 24-hour news outlets will report most of their spin as long as they keep producing it demonstrates that though they might not win this nomination fight, they'll never be beat on the media management front.

Following the Rise of the Master story arc for the fifth season of Doctor Who, the iOS and Android game also gets its update for the added content.
Doctor Who: Legacy, from Tiny Rebel Games, will be getting as many as 20 hours of new gameplay, a brand new Perk system for customization, Expert mode for levels, special character rewards, new abilities, new enemies and more.
The perk system now allows players to unlock abilities as you collect and level up, so you can get more allies through the game. According to Joystiq, there will also be four more incarnations of the Doctor to join the game, including the First, the Ninth, the Second and the War Doctor.
PES Manager already announced for the West
Konami has already announced that its football game app in the Japanese market, touted as the World Soccer Collection S, will now be coming to Europe. This time, it will be translated as PES Manager once it hits outside Japan.
Videogamer reports that the game will also have 3D matches, 1,500 star player badges that feature players from EU leagues and match types. The last feature will let you use Training and Formation so you can empower your teams and help them reach full potential. Some of the match types mentioned include Challenge Matches, Special Matches and Cup Contests.
For now, a release date has not yet been announced, although Konami has already specified the recommended specs for your devices so that PES Manager will work. This includes iOS 4 or later or Android 2.3 or later, devices that are ARM-based and a minimum of 1 GB of free space.
Hitman Go is now out on iOS
Over the weekend, Hitman Go from Square Enix Montreal has already been released on iTunes. Note that this is spin-off from the franchise, where you'll make use of stealth and distractions to maneuver into the secret areas for your target.
Hitman Go Launch Trailer (via hitman YouTube)
Not surprising, since it is a strategy and turn-based puzzle game. The strategy part has quite the emphasis, as you will have to make use of a variety of Agent 47's tools (and use them wisely) to get through the game.
For those looking for a challenge, Hitman Go does not disappoint, since you have a number of enemy types, each with unique behaviors. There is also a number of ways to complete the level, so you can either go trigger-happy or silent mode with a level for a different gameplay altogether.
Hitman Go will cost you $5, but it's worth the bucks if only for the pretty addictive drive of the game, which makes you want to be as creative and efficient in playing as possible.

Between volleyball's trip to the Sweet 16, the return of women's soccer to the NCAA Tournament and both basketball programs earning top-10 rankings nationally, it was a banner fall for University of Kentucky athletics.
However, the field of play wasn't the only place where UK excelled in the first semester of the 2011-12 academic year.
The Wildcats were truly student-athletes this fall, as Kentucky's 20 Division I teams combined for a mean team grade point average of 3.086 among student-athletes on scholarship. The average scholarship student-athlete GPA for the fall was 2.979, just short of UK's goal of a 3.0 GPA across the department.
"We had more than 50 kids with a perfect 4.0 grade point average and we almost got to the 3.0 as a department so I'm pleased with our effort," Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart said. "We came dangerously close again and we want to get past that. I thought everybody gave great effort. I thought the kids showed improvement and have clearly taken interest in their academics."
Of those 20 teams, 15 posted a GPA of 3.0 or better. Leading UK were 36 scholarship athletes and 56 total student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Moreover, 185 scholarship athletes and 243 total student-athletes earned a 3.0 or better.
***See below for complete grade information for each sport***
Conventional knowledge about college sports says that success in athletic competition comes at the cost of academic performance, but that's something Barnhart and the UK administration are unwilling to accept.
"We want to put to bed the myth that you can't do both, that you can't be in athletics and do well academically because you can't focus on both," Barnhart said.
In talking to UK student-athletes and coaches about the state of the program, the word "community" is nearly inevitable. The Wildcats do not exist on an island separated from other athletic teams or the university as a whole, and a commitment in the classroom is a key component in that sense of community.
"We talk about the pillars of our program and clearly education is a big piece of that," Barnhart said. "Our job is to prepare them to compete well and have an opportunity to walk out and be a viable member of society. They cannot do that without their degrees."
To succeed in the classroom, UK student-athletes rely on the guidance of the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services (CATS). From the moment each student-athlete arrives on campus, CATS advisers are a key component of the academic experience.
CATS takes an active role in the academic success of UK student-athletes, but without coaches delivering the message of the importance of excelling in the classroom, this fall's high GPA would not have happened.
"The wonderful thing about what we have is that our coaches are committed personally to education," Barnhart said. "Having coaches that buy into it and believe in it and make the commitment to make sure student-athletes are performing off the field makes it possible."
While fall 2011 gives reason to pause and celebrate what the Wildcats have done both on the field and in the classroom, it's not an endpoint. Barnhart has his sights set on the elusive goal of a 3.0 GPA across the department as a whole for the entire school year, but his aspirations don't end there.
"Having an entire department, all our athletes above 3.0 at the University of Kentucky would be a great thing," Barnhart said. "That doesn't mean that's the ceiling."

There are 150,000 veterans in Utah and many of them live in the southern parts of the state. For this reason the VA has sponsored a shuttle service to carry all veterans who cannot drive to the Salt Lake Medical Center for specialty treatment. Under the auspices of the Disabled American Veterans, a new 2005 Ford Freestar Minivan was purchased in 2005 through fund raising efforts in St. George. That van now has more than 120,000 miles logged and will need to be replaced in 2007. Since the service is offered to all veterans in Southern Utah, we are asking them for help in raising the funds necessary to purchase anotherâ¦this time a 12 passenger since the demand has grown. The Dixie Chapter of the DAV is caretaker of the funds and has an account in Wells Fargo Bank to which donations may be made. All are tax deductible under the DAV Tax ID 8761512361. The account is named The Dixie Chapter 7 Disabled American Veterans Van Replacement Fund and can be accessed for donation at any Wells Fargo branch. Questions may be directed to Robert Hansberry at 435-673-8041 or by writing to him at 462 West 300 North St. George, UT 84770. All veterans can be helped through your generosity.

ON CAMPUS: Sacramento fingerpainting the future
Sweeping changes coming down from Sacramento will fundamentally change how schools are financed and what they teach. As the count races down to June 30, legislation less sweeping – more a Swiffer run – also rates some notice.
The financing issue: Basic school dollars are doled out based on historical numbers that make no sense today. For example, Empire's per child basic rate is $6,078 per child while Roberts Ferry gets $7,211. Why? Because at some point in the 1980s Roberts Ferry spent more than Empire and lawmakers picked that year to lock in spending levels forevermore.
The proposed shift to a single rate per child, with extra for poor kids and English learners, makes a lot of sense.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposed such a plan for this coming budget. Today Democrats put forward their own plan with two key differences, delaying the change to 2014-15 and deleting the multiplier for high concentrations of disadvantaged kids.
Districts with lower percentages of poor kids (think rural, foothill and north Modesto) would fare better under the Democrats' plan. Districts with lots of poor kids (think south Modesto, Ceres) would fare better under Brown's plan.
Either change would be fairer and simpler than the system used now.
Assembly Bill (AB) 375 (Buchanan, D-Alamo) addresses teacher dismissal rules. An analysis by School Services of California concludes it would make it harder to dismiss teachers, including those accused of crimes against children. It would, however, add murder and attempted murder to the list of offenses triggering mandatory leaves.
Are those not on the list now? That's distressing.
A flurry of charter school bills would end requirements tying these independent schools to local oversight and county boundaries. But charters are already largely conducting business out of public view and it's tough to see where adding distance to discretion would improve things.
AB 615 (Bocanegra) would allow large numbers of school workers who work only while school is in session (think bus drivers, cafeteria workers and classroom aides) to get unemployment over summer vacation.
AB 792 (Mullin) would require school districts to post their agendas on their websites but appears to have no teeth if they don't. All but the smallest districts generally post the agenda. More meaningful reform would be to require them to post the attachments, the report or contract board members will be voting on.
Join the Discussion
The Modesto Bee is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Why on earth would we need that guy?! The Houston signing was great but now I think Emery doesn't know what he's doing.
Don't you think we've got enough WR depth? We signed a young returner from the CFL, Tolliver is unproven but has ideal size and Marquess Wilson will have a bigger role next season. Again, why on earth do we need that old dude?
he's on the radar, doesn't mean they aren't looking elsewhere. The guy is a solid depth guy, i'm guessing b/c Earl is about to get cut also.
Yea i think Earl is gone too, not that Earl is a bad player but I think Emery likes bigger taller wr's to create mismatches on smaller cornerbacks and safties etc........also I think Wilson will have bigger role next season which will take playing time away from Earl.
I don't think that is so much an Emery thing as it is a Cutler thing, he's always had an affinity for tall "go up and get it" WR's over smaller faster guys, it's one of the many reasons Hester was such a fail 1st and foremost he wasn't a good WR, 2nd and much farther down the line, his QB doesn't throw quick accurate timing routes for smaller faster wr's
Even if Earl Bennett leaves Tolliver and Wilson are younger versions of this guy, am I missing something?

Last night was the first gathering of the Banana Mafia crew at the Amsterdam Brewery. This alliance of chefs was brought together by the team behind the upcoming GwaiLo, and is made up of Nick Liu (GwaiLo), Robbie Hojilla (Ursa), Jeff Claudio (Yours Truly), Jonathan Poon (Chantecler) and Leemo Han (Swish by Han, Oddseoul). The idea behind the Banana Mafia started with Liu, who wanted to do a Singapore hawker-style event by bringing together some of the city's brightest Asian chefs. Read the rest of this entry »

All Mixed Up: Watch Cold Tea's Sarah Parniak make a Lucky Peach, her twist on a bourbon sour
Cold Tea is tucked away in the back of the Kensington Mall, down a long hallway and behind a door with a small window and a single red bulb above it. Visitors are greeted by a small (and operational) dim sum cart when they enter, but around the corner there is indeed a suitably laid-back bar, with a large patio out back. Here, Sarah Parniak, one of the bartenders, shows us how she makes a Lucky Peach ($10), a twist on the classic bourbon sour, one of her favourites. Read the rest of this entry »

Pinch collar?
For those of yall that use pinch collars how often do yall keep them on your pet? My fiancé says that we should keep it on her all the time. I disagree and think that it should only be used when necessary. Btw, we don't even use one as of yet. Advice and opinions please. Thanks!

Your fiance is wrong.
That's a 'training' collar for training. Leaving it on when it can get caught on something when you aren't around and strangle your puppy isn't a good idea. PLUS they are best fitted (everyone always buys them too big and they don't work) and used in combination with a great trainer who can tell you when/how to use it. And not until puppies are over 6 months at least anyways. Heck I hardly even leash my pups until I have to start classes at around 6 months Better to spend your time teaching your dog to WANT to do what they are supposed to rather then immediately using a training collar to MAKE them do it. Have you read thru this yet? ---> Top Training Expectations for Puppies Good luck!

^^^ This. If I'm going to use it, I put it on a half hour to an hour before training and take it off a half hour to an hour after training. Other than that, my dogs don't even wear collars in the house. |

For training only. Consider a small size prong collar with more links added for a puppy. You may get more of a response with a lighter pop on a correction.

The point was brought up before by someone who actually sells prongs, so knows the product: the smaller pinch gives a sharper poke - it was likened to jabbing yourself with the blunt end of a bic pen, then turning it and jabbing yourself with the inked tip. Ouch! The larger prongs were the ones they suggested to use. Makes sense to me.

You have to keep in mind the smaller prongs have the pressure distributed across a greater surface area. They may be smaller but there are more of them and they are closer together. I've put them around my own neck before and tested with a leash pop. It is like a bed of nails. The nails are sharp and individually yeah they'd go through skin but when there are a bunch of them you can rest comfortably on top and take a sledge hammer to the chest. There is no real "jabbing."

In a weird way, blogging makes life more "real". I read so many blogs that I feel like I know these people, even though I've never actually met many of them. So when I see them experiencing hardships, it truly does effect me.
There are many different struggles I've read about on other's blogs, but nothing is quite like reading about people who have lost a child. Simply uncomprehendable. Unfortunately I've come across many blogs where someone has lost a child. Every single time I read one, it weighs so heavy on my heart.
I'm sure many of you know Cora's story, shared by her mom Jess, and how she lost her battle to cancer at only 11 months old. I think that was the first story I encountered via blogging that really effected me. I was so heartbroken for this family, and cried tears for them many times. And I've shared briefly about my friend Missy before, who lost her sweet daughter Leightyn suddenly to a brain tumor. Then there's Megan, who's sweet baby boy Cohen was born with heart problems and went to heaven 11 days after being born. I think about all of these stories, and many more, on a regular basis. Sometimes I will lay in bed at night, and talk to Patrick about these people, and how my heart just breaks for them...even though I've never "met" them. It really gives me a new perspective on life's "problems" and the things I complain about.
And now that I have Manny? The stories effect me even more. A few weeks ago, I somehow stumbled upon Lee Anne's blog. I thought she looked familiar, and it turns out we were both at OU at the same time and in the same major. Though I didn't "know" her, I'm certain I remember seeing her in passing. As I started reading her blog, I came across the story of the loss of their precious son Isaiah at only 11 months old. She is such a transparent and inspiring writer, and her words just gripped me. I couldn't stop reading more about what they'd been through, and as I delved deeper into her blog, I saw something that literally shook me to the core. You see, her sweet son Isaiah went to heaven on May 17, 2010. You know what else happened that exact same day? My sweet baby was born. To think that on the same day that Lee Anne was experiencing her darkest hour, I was experiencing one of my brightest....well, it was just overwhelming. I don't get it. I don't understand why these things happen, but the faith in Lee Anne's writings are SO encouraging and insightful that you can't help but be inspired to live life better. It truly does put things in perspective.
I remember when Jess (Cora's mom) blogged about Cora's funeral, and she talked about how they played the song, "Blessed Be Your Name". The Lord truly does give and take away, and these women are prime examples of someone who still chooses to bless HIS name, regardless of the circumstances. Thank you, ladies, for touching my life even in your heartache! I encourage those of you who are reading this to take the time to visit these blogs I've mentioned and show them some encouragement or support, or simply just say hi. It's been almost a year or more since each of their babies have gone to heaven, and I'm sure it's nice to know someone is thinking of you and honoring the memory of your child.
And when life gets crazy and overwhelming, I encourage you to stop and take a moment to count your blessings. There are times it might seem like you have none to count, but I'm certain if you look hard enough you'll find some. Cliche' as it may be, life truly is short. Take each battle as you face it, and try to keep your faith in the process, just as these women have done.

So true.I have a friend named Krista who's little girl,Avalyn Shaye Bright passed away at 2 years old from complications of having her tonsils taken out.She has a blog although I am not sure if she has made it public yet.I cried tears for this little Angel like she was own child.Her mommy's faith is truly an inspiration !! Great post !!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I hate that it takes such sad circumstances to give us perspective...but I'm also thankful for the reminders they provide. Whenever I get frustrated or tired of mommy-related things...I think of these mommies who would do anything to be in my shoes and I suck it up and am thankful instead. That's a gift.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to imagine what these families go thru. I followed poor LeeAnne & Renzi's story over facebook and hated to see the loss of Isaiah. It's such a tragic thing losing a child. Their newest addition is sure to bring joy to their lives but will never dull the pain! This is a beautiful thought, thanks for sharing.
I love hearing from my readers and I appreciate every single comment left here! If you have a question, I will do my very best to answer it as soon as I can. If your email address is not linked to your blogger account (and if you're not sure, then it probably isn't) please leave it in your comment so that I can respond to you much quicker. Thanks for stopping by! :)

L T, Jean Claude Batiste, Ms Goddess, Sydnee Capri, Devlin Weed, Taya Silvers, Dwayne Cumminz, Marie Luv, America
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
In Ass Wish, there exists a magical business card with a phone number that, once dialed, summons anal-loving black girls. Instantly. Like, poof! She's there.
When Marie Luv materializes, she unleashes a spit-drenched b.j. on Mr. Marcus that leaves her tone torso covered in saliva long before Marcus plows her ass in multiple positions. And Taya Silvers? face looks like it's melting as it drips with spit from a frenetic b.j. she gives Jean Claude Batiste – prior to some frenetic anal. And America gives good arch while taking it in the ass in cowgirl.
Retailing: Place next to other anal titles in the black girls section.

Keanu the Untamed
Casting Reeves in an action film means he doesn't have to stand still and act
By Richard von Busack
Naturally, the explosions necessary to propel a movie are getting bigger and bigger, so the climactic blowup in Chain Reaction has to be even grander than the one in the previews. From one of those black helicopters the militias are worried about, Fred Ward, as an FBI agent, watches what appears to be most of Virginia going up in smoke. All Ward can manage is a mildly impressed "Whoa." It was the funniest thing in Chain Reaction. At a matinee crowd, no one laughed; they must have had the humor blasted out of them by this summer's movies.
In the lead is Keanu Reeves, which says it all, doesn't it? Director Andrew Davis does the trick used in Speed of throwing Reeves around so fast that you never see him stand still and act. A clever strategy. Reeves' untarnishable reputation as the worst actor in movies today is mitigated only by his uses as an action hero; if it takes firing him out of a cannon, figuratively speaking, to get him to make some impact, the makers of Chain Reaction were not above it. Davis jostles Reeves through his part as machinist Eddie Kasalivich, some sort of scientist without portfolio, working on the most important project of the century.
He's employed in a university lab on Chicago's South Side, tooling the instruments that will help the lab team achieve cold fusion--stabilizing a bubbling glass tank of water that will produce cold fusion, hydrogen gas or "sonoluminescence"; the details are vague. The team celebrates their success with champagne--indecently early, I thought--and our Keanu is escorting home a drunken British scientist, Lily Sinclair (Rachel Weisz, picked, no doubt, so that she wouldn't upstage Keanu with her talent). He returns for his motorcycle just as the whole laboratory goes up in a sizable explosion.
The blast which looked like megatonnage to me, is detonated by mysterious military-industrial-complex agents, unwilling to upset the current balance of power that would no doubt occur if such a technology were to be made available. (The problem of this plot is obvious--what about all the money to be made installing the new power grid?) Head grantwriter Morgan Freeman is--it's no secret to the viewer--moonlighting for a SPECTRE-like organization, C-Systems, buried in a huge underground laboratory from where they tweak the world's destiny. Unfortunately, all we get for a Blofeld is the highly unmenacing beardo Brian Cox. Presumably the Southern accent is to tip us off that Cox is supposed to be Ted Turner.
Kasalivich and Sinclair are framed for the blast and are left out in the cold, with C-Systems and the police pursuing them. Literal cold, since the movie is shot in the midst of a Midwestern winter. One of Davis' big strengths as an action director from Chicago is that he has interesting locations; Keanu hangs from the Michigan Avenue drawbridge, and he and Weisz are chased around the Argonne National Laboratory and Lake Geneva in the winter.
Davis, who directed the suspiciously similar The Fugitive, has an ingenuity isn't limited to the look of the film; the opening sequences sets up the story fluidly and with a minimum of dialogue. And Davis is a good stroker of liberal sympathies. (Kasalivich figures out a key bit of the puzzle merely because he was nice to a homeless person.) Still, the script groans with retreaded lines, sometimes scrambled even given their bad-movie simplicity. (Says Cox's Blofeld, menacing Freeman, "If someone's going down for this, it is not going to be I"; in another moment, the cops are urged to search "all parts of the compass.") If the climax is both preposterous and effective, it's to be expected; action movies, no matter how derivative and poorly cast, have strong, even explosive, beginnings and ends; it's just all of the stuff in between the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes that really ages you.

Click Here to Send Us Your Story and Memories of Asbury Park
I remember the natatorium on the boardwalk between 2nd and 3rd Aves and how we could get a discount if we could get 10 girls at once. My brother Sam had a store in the boardwalk in the natatorium - general merchandise - french fries, etc. different things in different years The ice cream and waffle place was next door The first time I saw vinegar put on French fries was by the English sailors who were in the hotel (can't remember the name) for rr I remember the screens that were put up on the east side of the boardwalk and the dim lights in case during ww there were any submarines loitering in the ocean. I remember the baby parades I was in as a subject of the queen. Also getting dressed up to parade on the boardwalk on Easter Sunday where orchids were given to the best dressed ladies. Saturday night the visitors in the Berkeley Carteret would be dressed in formal clothes as they walked the boardwalk and when we wore a hat and gloves when we walked the boardwalk. I graduated A.P. High in June 1932; that dates me.
You might add that the natatorium was an indoor, salt water, heated swimming pool whose water was piped in from the ocean.
I have just one more question. My maiden name is Edelstein. My two oldest brothers (Al or Ben) were city attorney or city magistrate at different times but I'm just wondering if they are remembered. At my age (93) I don't know who's left to ask.
Greetings, My grandmother, Mrs Emily Smith owned and operated two hotels in Asbury Park, Bedford Hotel and Aberdeen Hotel.For many years - late 30"s to early 50's I spent my early years attending the Bond Street School and Asbury Park High School as well as enjoying the many summers walking the boardwalk, riding the rides, swimming in the ocean and too many other activities to list.. I have often wondered what happened to the hotels. If anyone can supply that information I would be very grateful. Many happy memories are attached to my years growing up in beautiful Asbury Park, Sincerley. Emily Brown

Along with moving the clock forward an hour as Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, AAA is advising drivers not to "lose" an hour of sleep. The consequences of doing so could be felt on Monday morning.
AAA Minneapolis, which is part of the national motoring club, says the time change will bring an extra hour of daylight in the evenings but at the cost of darker mornings. That along with any loss of sleep could make drivers drowsy and more distracted.
""A change in time can affect people physically and drivers can be more tired than they realize," said Jamie Christianson, public relations and social media coordinator for AAA Minneapolis. "Drivers need to be aware of the changing conditions, and know that other drivers are not. People can have trouble changing their internal body clocks. There could be some post-Daylight Savings Time grogginess."
To prepare, AAA recommends that adults get 7 to 9 hours of sleep, and go to bed earlier than normal to make the transition.
An estimated 17 percent of fatal crashes, 13 percent of crashes resulting in hospitalization, and seven percent of all crashes requiring a tow involve a drowsy driver, according to a 2010 study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes a year. The actual figure may be higher because police can't always determine with certainty when driver fatigue results or is a contributory factor in a crash.

One year ago, upon assuming control of the organization, Mr. Sternberg eliminated the $10.00 per vehicle parking fee on team-controlled parking lots at Tropicana Field for all home games during the 2006 season. Today, he extended free parking for a second and final season.
"For one more season, we are foregoing parking revenue. This is an investment in our future. Free parking enhances the accessibility of our home games. It compels fans to come visit Tropicana Field, where they will have a fantastic experience," Sternberg said.

Airy bedroom with a double (full) bed, closet space and private bathroom in charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1890's Victorian cottage. Located on a safe, friendly street with historic San Francisco charm.
Fiona never communicated her displeasure. Our home is compact and she had many occasions but chose not to.
I worked with Fiona closely because her mother was badly injured and she altered her stay. In addition, my partner was traveling.
If it's of consequence, Fiona Hutcheon badly abused our towels; retiring 2 of them with makeup. I gave her a brief but favorable review and didn't charge her for the towels.
We love hosting Airbnb guests and regret this outcome.

Airport Reviews : A-Z Index
Yunan Airlines - by Jyn Baker
2 December 2004
Dali to Kunming. We found the aircraft, a 737, to be clean and seemed to be well maintained both inside and outside. As Dali airport has no walkways to the aircraft, all passengers must walk on the tarmac to the aircraft, which was not a problem, except we were all walking at 45 degrees against the wind. Once on board we were all given a 500ml bottle of water, no cups or straws. The flight was smooth and spectacular flying over the mountains. As the aircraft nears Kunming the FA came around with a large garbage bag and we all threw our bottles into the bag. All the bottles were collected in the time it takes to walk down the aircraft. Very efficient! I enjoyed flying with this airline to other destinations within Yunan.

Category: Name Nerds
Here at Nameberry, we know a lot about name obsession: We've been pretty obsessive about the subject ourselves for as long as we can remember. And one of the great things about running this site is that it's introduced us to a lot of fellow obsessive name people. Maybe you're one of them?
Here, 19 signs:
1. You've memorized the Social Security Top 1000 names. And you're fully prepared to take the quiz.
2. American baby name books weren't enough for you, so you've also amassed a collection of British, Australian, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and one Japanese baby name book. In Japanese.
3. You've made a spreadsheet to analyze the results of your online baby name polls.
Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel looks at some of the new baby names to make the headlines this week–with several surprises.
Being a name nerd used to be hard work.
Do you remember paging through lists of Olympic medalists in the paper, gazing at name plaques in art museums, seeking out family trees in history books at the library? Did you know exactly which days the local paper ran birth announcements?
Then you must be a thirty-something or better name nerd.
I borrowed my mother's only baby name book and kept it on my bookshelf, between Sweet Valley High and Nancy Drew. I read it obsessively, even the small print listing nicknames and foreign variants. That long lost book is where I fell in love with Libby and Nan, Katrinka and Alexei.
So many stories about twenty-first century baby naming trends are dismissive. They claim parents are trying too hard for their children to stand out and be unique.
Maybe that happens some of the time, but to me it seems straightforward.
With access to all of these fabulous names, why wouldn't we consider a wider range of possibilities?
Watch out, Berries–today's guest blogger, Claire Shefchik, has plenty of bones to pick!
Since the age of six, I've loved names. Back then, whenever I renamed myself, I was Crystal (spelled Christal) and later, Jordan. These days, I prefer Presley to Penelope, Jayden to Jasper. In the novel I'm writing, two of the main characters are Dempsey and Vaughan–female characters. Eek! That's right, I am a name heretic.
When, a few years ago, I came across the Nameberry-led community of Internet naming enthusiasts, I thought I'd found heaven (sorry, "nevaeh"). But I found myself, more often than not, at odds with my fellow "name nerds." Many claim to be open-minded and liberal, but are much more rigid in their approach to naming than you'd think, especially when it comes to names popular with, as one poster put it, "the Wal-Mart set." Another poster declared her goal was to encourage "classically-named babies," which let's face it, is just a euphemism for "babies with names of which I, as the self-appointed arbiter of taste, approve."
We first talked with the lovely Natalie Hanson, whose husband is musical star Taylor Hanson, when she named her fourth child the amazing Viggo Moriah. Not only is Natalie a celebrity mom, she's a name nerd! We're delighted and honored to welcome Natalie to Nameberry as a guest blogger. Here, she looks back on the names she and her husband chose for their four young children and what she's thinking about for names for her fifth, due this fall.
This October I will celebrate ten years since I first took my adolescent name research and applied it to an actual human being. This upcoming anniversary has inspired me to look back on the names my husband and I gave to our four children, the ways we chose them, and how they've worked out. Have each of my choices lived up to my hopes? Was my perception of each name's potential correct, or "ahead of its time"? Our name stories:
Today's Question of the Week was inspired by a suggestion from anniebee:
What iffy reactions have some of your choices gotten from non-name fans?
Have you ever gotten a quizzical look, a raised eyebrow—or worse—in response to one of your faves, a name known and loved on Nameberry, but which others out there in the nonberry world might never have even heard before—or else find hopelessly old-fashioned?
What is the most extreme reaction you've received to your name choice either while you were still considering it or after you had already used it for your child?
What was your response to their response?

Just Tomatoes Etc!, Organic Just Bananas, 2.5 oz (70 g)
By Just Tomatoes Etc!
12 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Oct 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.52 lbs (0.24 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Got a shower of banana dust when I opened the bag..:)The little one likes them, but they are not for me.. I like that they are all natural.
I would give negative stars for this product if I could. I purchased three kinds of "Just Tomatoes Etc!" fruit and I am unhappy with all of them. I bought Just Banana, Just Mango and Just Apple (which is not JUST apple it also has citric acid and ascorbic acid in the ingredients. These are all disgusting, they are nothing like normal dried fruits, they are very light and the crunch is like you are eating a Crunchie bar, there is no chewiness at all, there is NO flavour in them. What a waste of money. This is by far my most disappointing purchase from iherb.

If you read any news stories relating to body modification please do send them in.
Hello BME Community,
A popular UK primetime TV series is looking for modified people to take part. The series is about body modification desire and regret and looks at the multitude of ways we choose to alter our appearance.
This year we're really keen to explore and celebrate some of the less well known body modifications by featuring people who are passionate about body modification and have chosen to change the way they look in exciting or striking ways. If you are UK based and planning on getting or seriously considering any of the following body mods:
· Subdermal Implants
· Tongue Split
· Tongue Tattoo
· Scleral Tattoo
· Scarification
And any other body modifications please email: email@example.com or send a private message to me on BME to BS_15.Looking forward to hearing from you.
Enjoy your weekend folks. Sending you off is a submission from LeoDeFeo. No information was provided about artists but we can just enjoy the view, can't we?
I'm trying something new. I'm calling it Photo of the Day. I'm going to pick 1 photo from the BME submissions and highlight it here on ModBlog as the photo of the day. This is not something I'm going to do every day and how often I do it is really going to depend on the quality of the photos submitted. Please note that I said quality of the photo. Think back to the old BME covers, if you've been around as long as I have, and you'll probably get my meaning. If I post your photo as the photo of the day I will reward you with extra BME access! You can still submit to BME anonymously. If you do that and your photo is featured just email me, firstname.lastname@example.com, and let me know that was you and I'll go in and credit your account. The more information you provide with your submissions the better! Allons-y!

It's hard to believe that it's going on 11 years since Rachel and I took a trip to The Netherlands so she could have her jewel eye implant. 11 years! Not too long ago I was actually thinking that it's still not something I ever really hear about. Well, yesterday bodmodpunky sent in the photo below:
Artist: Danny
Studio: Rock the Body Studio
Location: Baden CH
This looks really nice and I'd love to hear the reactions when people realize, hey, you've got a skull in your eye! I'll be honest, I tend to forget Rachel even has it, it's such an unobtrusive thing and so far as I know she hasn't had any issues with it. I'm not suggesting everyone should run out and get this done, if you do decide to get it done, make sure you do your research and find someone who knows what they're doing!
Here is your news roundup for April 3, 2015:

Worship Service 2 Grace
This Grace is meant for Boy Scouts.
[This is an entire worship service rather than just a grace]
Call to Worship
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come into His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is He that made us, and we are His;
We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
: Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,
Praise for them, springing, fresh from the word.
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass,
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day.
Responsive Reading:
O most high, almighty, good Lord God,
to you belongs praise, glory, honor and all blessing.
Praise God with all his creatures,
and especially, our brother, the sun,
who brings us the day and who brings us the night;
fair is he, and shines with a very great splendor;
O Lord, he signifies You to us.
Praise God for our sister the moon, and for the stars,
which He has set clear and lovely in the heaven.
Praise God for our brother the wind,
and for the air and clouds, and all weather
by which you uphold life in all creatures.
Praise God for our sister, water,
who is humble and precious and clean.
Praise God for our brother, fire,
through whom you give us light in the darkness;
he is bright and pleasant and mighty and strong.
Praise God for our mother, the earth,
which sustains us and keeps us, and brings forth
grass and fruits and flowers of many colors.
Praise God, and give thanks to Him
and serve Him with great humility.
Silent Meditation
- one minute
God, sometimes I hold something small in my hand... a piece of moss or a budding twig,
and - peering closely at this tiny world - I feel a sudden wonder.
Help me to remember that you made these worlds, and countless others,
and...in remembering...come closer to you.
God, I thank you today for the world in which you have placed us;
for the universe whose vastness is revealed in the blue depths of the sky;
whose immensities are lit by shining stars beyond the strength of mind to follow.
I thank you for the beauty of our earth, for the sweetness of the flowers,
the solemnity of the stars, the sound of streams and swelling seas,
for stretching lands and mighty mountains which rest and satisfy the soul,
the purity of dawn which calls us to holy dedication,
and the peace of the evening which speaks of everlasting rest.
Above all, I thank you for the dignity you have bestowed upon every human being as the crown of your Creation.
Give us the grace to let the light of your glory shine through us, in our action, words and thoughts.
Closing Song:
Mighty Is Our God
Mighty is our God
Mighty is our King
Mighty is our Lord
Ruler of everything.
Glory to our God
Glory to our King
Glory to our Lord
Ruler of everything.
His name is higher, higher than any other name.
His power is greater, for He has created everything.
May God bless and keep you forever;
Grant you peace, perfect peace, and courage in every endeavor.
Lift up your eyes and see His face, and His grace forever.
May the Lord, Mighty Lord, Bless and keep you forever.
Did you try it and like it? Or hate it?
